BREAKING A referendum to put the new Utah state flag on the ballot for voters fails to qualify
In a letter sent to the sponsors of the referendum and shared with FOX 13 News, Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson declared that the had not met the threshold of signatures necessary. To qualify, referendum supporters had to submit 134,298 signatures from 15 of Utah's 29 Senate districts by April 12.
The referendum's failure ends a fairly contentious squabble over the new flag. The design of a beehive at the center of flag that symbolizes Utah's snowcapped mountains and redrock canyons emerged out of a lengthy public process that involved thousands of submitted designs, ideas and themes. "Thousands of Utahns, young and old, worked together to inspire the design of the new Utah flag. Today we can finally say that the procedural process of adopting the new flag is complete," Sen. McCay said in a statement to FOX 13 News.
